Risks

• OAuth
• Need to authorize app to communicate with registration

server

• Need to determine how VW implements OAuth into their

existing apps; working with VW to gain access to test server

• EventBus/NSNotification
• Publish-subscribe patterns are integral to modern mobile

application development

• Developed prototype to outline app architecture
• Firebase Analytics
• Firebase Analytics will be used to gather app statistics
• Set up test applications to interact with Firebase Analytics
